Dear CCP4ers,

I want to check the validity of the refinement of anisotropic B-factors vs. TLS + isototropic B-factors using the Hamilton R-value ratio test as described in Ethan Merritt's paper "To B or not to B", Acta Cryst. D, Vol 68, pp 468. This test uses the generalised R-factors (assuming unit weights), RG=(Sum(Fo-Fc)^2/Sum(Fo)^2)^1/2. Although Hamilton wrote that at the end of refinement, one could also use the similar ratio of the usual R-factors, I really would like to check the ratio of the RG-values after refinement. As far as I can see, this value is not reported by the usual refinement programs.

Is there a program that reads an mtz file with Fo and refined Fc and just calculates RG?

Best regards,

Dirk.
